Tryed taking off the four nuts on each corner of my rocker cover and as I went to losen one of the nuts, it just broke of and now some of the thread is in the nut and can't take it out and even if I find another nut for it there's not enough thread to screw it on. Plus when I turned on the car it was blowing the air from where the nut is,what to do peepz? Help!
It's a teg b18c btw, Thanks.

Take the rocker cover off, and take the broken bolt out, Replace it and you should be allright

So I gotta get a new bolt setup for when I take the old one out? And then just swap it

Yes you can get a new one from Honda
I think theyre only about 10nm.. so go easy and tighten from the middle ones outwards
And don't worry,millions have snapped them not only you

If I take the cover off don't I have to put some silicone sealant on, or will it be good without it?

No just use the rubber gasket thats on there already and make sure it seats properly as you sit the cover back on
